And I might be the only one who finds it mildly annoying when people don't appear to know what game it is they are showing, they give it the glare of being foreign and have to carefully read the title, and sometimes get it wrong. Gives the immediate impression that they buy a lot of games but don't invest much interest in them, much less play them.

Game room tours are cool and all, but what's the point of scanning past each row of games at 3 mph and telling me to pause the video? May as well read a text list and be as entertained. At least mention some of your games and why they are special to you.

I also like the one game at a time video. Like you I like when they the collector actually has something to say about the game, other then just reading the title. The worst person I have seen with this is SeeJayAre. He gives me the impression he doesn't really care about any of the games he has beyond how well they fill his shelves. Sometimes he acts like, "what the hell is this?" when going through his games. Every game in my collection is there for a reason, and every game, even the ones I have not played, have at least a story about why I wanted the game in the first place.

Rolf. Yeah, he came to mind when I mentioned this. Definitely get that "what the hell is this game?" impression from him a lot, I just want to click off of the video. If they don't care, why should I?

I'm fine w/ the one at a time thing as long as it's a somewhat small and preferably themed set of games. Showing me your top 10 favorite NES games in your collection? Great, show them & tell me why you like them so much. Wanna show me your favorite 20 games you picked up in the last 3 months? That works too as long as you're telling me something interesting. Heck, when I finally finish my PS3 RPG collection I may do this with that set, because I can tell you almost every one of those games has a story.

But just doing "this is every single game I own for console x" is a bit much IMO. If you DID say something interesting about every single game & had a decent size collection, the video would go on forever.

Good point. Don't make a super long video - I know my attention span is too short for that!
